The Valley Of Death

I've begun to fear evil

It's breath I see on the wind

Carrying an aroma so beautiful

It taste like everything that I love

Preparing a table before me

In the presence of me enemies

And when the food and drink is gone

They break the bonds of peace we formed

To attack a servant in his masters house

Ash fills the air as the world we know burns

Justice has turned to malice

And mercy now begets hatred

Filling the voids with more cries from the soul

Our very deepths are being shattered

As we speak spirits of old become lost memories

The valley fills with blood as death rides through

My hope was in something bigger

Thine eyes locked on the greatest of all creation

Yet the night still came and with it wrath

Taking all that I once held close to my heart

A beating chest now stops breathing

Making the sacrifice to something I don't understand

One brother turns against his own

Now that the household of righteousness has been upturned

Set in suffering the mountains fall at our command

Ending all the misery only to cause more woe

How will we remove this body from under the rocks?

Performing a funeral without the body present

Light a candle and watch the flame build higher

Tears fall to the ground as the earth itself begins to mourn

This is the beginning of the end and all know it

Clouds begin to form and the acid rains down

Destroying everything we worked so very hard for

The land comes up from under our feet

Falling faster, deeper into the bowels of the earth

A universe that was so endless grows so small

Breaking hearts pile before the demons of this realm

As the ocean pulls back, forever to be unseen

Darkness runs wild and no sun is ever present

War has come to consume all of our souls

And only an epitaph remains of what we once were

A carving of the last to have been living

"We're glad that we've finally gone home"
